Description

This three-bedroom chalet bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable, private locale. Surrounded by well-maintained gardens on three sides, this property offers both charm and potential for those looking to put their personal touch into a home. The living space is bright and spacious, featuring an L-shaped sitting/dining room that benefits from windows on multiple sides, filling the area with natural light. Adjoining this room is a conservatory that overlooks the garden, making it an ideal spot for relaxation or entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room provides practical space for daily meals and could be reimagined to suit modern preferences. On the ground floor, two bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom; one of the bedrooms includes an en-suite shower room for added convenience. Upstairs, a versatile twin bedroom with its own en-suite offers additional privacy and flexibility. While the property currently requires some updating, it serves as a blank canvas ready for transformation into a contemporary dwelling. Situated to the west of Cheap Street, this bungalow offers easy access to local amenities in Sherborne, including shops, restaurants, medical facilities, and a mainline train station. The nearby regional centre of Yeovil further expands the range of cultural and recreational options available. For outdoor enthusiasts, numerous walking trails and sporting venues are within reach, alongside golf clubs located in both Sherborne and Yeovil. Excellent road links via the A303 make commuting straightforward. Additional features of this property include covered parking and a garage situated in a nearby block. The installation of double glazing throughout enhances energy efficiency, while recent upgrades such as a new gas boiler and solar panels add to its appeal as an investment opportunity. This property is offered with no onward chain, making it an attractive prospect for buyers looking to create their ideal home in a sought-after location.
